Superconductivity is this property of materials when you call them down very cold and they lose their electrical resistance so currents can flow through them. We hear about superconducting magnets. They just flow through them without any resistance so they don't heat up. These are tiny versions of what's verytiny versions which are much smaller in size than the cross sections of your hair. How magnetic field behaves, scowls, those electrons flowing inside without any resistance.
